THE WEATHER Augusta and Vicinity. Cloudy tonghi and Wedneaday; warm er innight. South Carolina and (Moral*. Cloudy tonight anil WednrsdM.v; warm er tonight. THE RETIREMENT OF JOHN BASSETT MOORE. Mr. John Bassett Moore hart nerved the State Department twice be fore he accepted appointment hh Its counsellor In the Wilson adminis tration. but on each occasion for a specific purpose and only for a short time Teaching I* his vocation, his life’s work; and that fact, so well emphasised, would of itself confirm the explanation which he and the president give of Ills retirement now. Rut there Is hotter confirms!ion or It 111 the fact that It wa» expressly stated when he accepted appoint meat as Counsellor to the State Department that he was to serve only temporarily. The significant feature of his retirement Is that it should take place at a moment when It can only emphasize his dissent from the policies of the administration, and particularly its policy with re spec! to the Mexican situation. The opponents of the administrations Mexican policy will of course seize on his retirement as an event which gives cogence to their criticism. It may give cogence to tliclr criticisms hut adds nothing to the validity of these criticisms. We read In the dispatch telling of Mr. Moore's resignation that, shortly after the assumption of powers by Huerta, he supplied the pres ident snd Mr Bryan with a weallhof precedents to justify a recognition of the Huerta regime. There Is I nthat statement a full explanation, not of Mr. Moore's resignation, but of the cause of his inability to con cur In the policy of the administration. There Is perhaps no man In this country more learned In International law and customs than Mr. Moore. There are not many men Hi this country less learned in them than Mr. Bryan, nor would the president himself profess much acquaint an<s In this domain of knowledge. It is not strange, but. on the contra ry, very natural that the association of a man who is saturated with knowledge of the technicalities of International law and the precedents governing international intercom > with men who know little about them and care not much more should occasion differences of opinion which every day accentuates. Mr. Moore Is essentially a technician, and to become a technician lu any branch of learning is to come to have more attachment to form than to substance, to the manner of doing a thing than to the matter of the thing done To a man overtrained In the technicalities of a science, it is a shocking solecism, an impiety to verge from the co/iine which precedent surveys. If there Is one thing which distinguishes this administration above everything else It Is Its disregard of precedents in matters of Interna tional policy On (he very day oi the president's Inauguration he made a statement which gave a sharp deflection to what had been the nation s policy with respect to l<attn Amertc an countries, and shortly after ha made a decision selecting American Interests In China which showed that he did not mean to he hound any more than was absolutely necessary by what had been done before. It whs Inevitable that surh innovations as these should give sore umbrage to a mind whose great learning had put it In superstitious awe of precedents. Precedents counseled the' re cognition of Huerta. Custom and the technicalities of international In tercourse gave him a perfect claim to recognition Hut custom and the technicalities of international Intercourse give lint scant consideration to moral factors, being concerned only with the expediences, and when the president not only gave consideration to the moral factor In Huerta s case but allowed It to he the dominating consideration. Mr. Moore suf fered all that cornea to one who witnesses a sacrilege done to what lie reverences. The mind of this administration and that of Mr. Moore are dlsplo mattrail) Incompatible; their Ideals are at war. Hnd the president at least might be censured for not having foreseen thst his purposes could not win the allegiance of such a mind as Mr. Moore's. That he has re tired now gives emphasis, snd perhaps an untimely emphasis, to the fact that the |«>!!cy of the administration with respect to Mexico Is a radical departure from custom and precedent; but the fact thut It con stitute* a departure does not convict It of being unwise. LOCOMOTIVES MAY BE LONGER. t Engineering N*m). There la gnucra] agreement among the expert* In railway track that the stresses In railway ralla produced by preaent rolling stock weights, arc, It anything, already In excess of the limit which reasonable requirements lor aatety would fix. 81111 heavier rail auctions may help somewhat, but the experience with them has not been particularly promising, remarks The Engineering News editorially. In fact, much of It has been disap pointing Halls of alloy steel are a possibility, and have even been tried to a limited extent; but the element of coat promptly enters In to ahut off any considerable likelihood ot progress In tula direction It must be remembered that the whole problem ia essentially an oeon omtr one The wclgnts of cars and locomotives have been .ateadlly In creased because this increase has meant a reduction In the cost of haul ing a ton of freight over the road We have reached the point, however, where terminal expensea. and not costs of road hauling, are the con trolling figures in a large proportion of our freight traffic; nml terminal expenses arc Increased, rather than lessened, where very long trains muat be made up. From present indications, even it there should be a further increase ot train weight, the locomotive capacity necessary to handle them would be obtained by stretching out the loco motive Into a longer machine, making a Mallet compound of three units in stead of two for example and this would not probably increase the losd on bridges over that produced by present rolling stock.

(By Bcatric# Fairfax.) i I ,ove la a motllny of rnde»r|fl*nt», Jar*, I Kuapliiuna, <|tiarrela, reconcilement*, wara. —William Walah, "I am positive," ho wrllea. "that the girl hue* me. hut 1 Juat cannot bring myself to Ihc point to nak. Hhe knows 'that I love her, but aim stubbornly re fuaea to make It Juat a little easier for inn lo ask This troubles the, hut I have a greater worry: "Why la It that two people, who really love each other, and who know that they love each other—why, oh! why will these two people do mean lit tle- things to make each other feel hail? Why <lo they affect love for othnra anil an Indifference to each other? Why will they lake a sort of savage delight In being able to make each other feel the most terrible mental anguish? Why do they act this way?” Why? I -cause they tire In love, and love la a sort of sweet Insanity In which Ita victims do such things and say such things, that If the man were to behave In a similar fashion In busi ness he would have to retire to private life In a week, and If a girl were to treat her friends as she treats her lover she would soon be hopelessly friendless. Love, like wine, goes to the head. At a time when Its victims should he a* cool headed as If their lives depended on being well balanced, they know neither sense, nor Judgment, nor cau tion .nor sympathy, nor understanding. They become almost vicious In trying to torment those their hearts are cry ing loudest for, a vlclouaneaa that haa for Its only redeeming quality Its greater desirability than Indifference. It Is the last resistance before sur render. Without the formality of rea soning. every girl knows when she haa confessed her love for a man she liaa lost a certain degree of her power over him The certainty la never as pow erful as the uncertainty. When he 1* not sure of her love, he la hers to tor ment When he Is sure of it, It often happens that he becomes the tormen tor, and to the end of her days. If she loves him, she must bear hla torment ing with a sickening fear that he no longer loves her, and with a determi nation to keep that love If humility and self-sacrifice will serve Courtship is th« playtime of the heart In which wounds are g ven ruthlessly, every wound to be salved and healed and forgotten when the confession of love comes later. The writer of this letter and his sweetheart are having in loves tor ment the happiest time of their lire, but It will take th* cold shower bath ot matrimony to make them know It. Thrift Is a Siqn of Good Citizenship in a Nation (Hlr T. Vanslttart Bowater, l/ord Mavor of Ixindon. tn Answers.) Thrift ts ai\ essential and Impera tive part of Rood citizenship. The man who sets aside a few pence or shillings every week or every month is not only making .u --turo provision for himself, his chll dren or others who may tie dependent on him but. consciously or uncon sciously, he Is at the same time serv ing his country by helping to create a type of character which is one o. the most valuable of national assets. He Is setting an example of self command every time he fights down the temptation to spend on soma passing pleasure the money which should he reserved for a more useful purpose. And self command moans much in good citizenship. He Is sotting an example of self help He does not wait for ''some thing to torn up." but sets to work resolutely to Improve his position tn life by lils own exertion. Ho ts setting an example of self respect The saving of money hon estly earned fosters that spirit of sturdy Independence snd confidence in one's own powers which have play ed no small part in building up the pr isperttv of this country. In addition to the ethical value which I have endeavored to Indicate, the practice oT thrift by Individuals has a material value to the nation. The security of the Intricate fabric of Rrltish credit depends to a v.*ry large extent uron the reserve of capi ta! accumulated by those who Invest In our savings banks and similar in stitutions. TO MAKE EMPLOYMENT STEADY (From the Chicago Tribune ) Employers of the country will to the near future have to begin to reg ulate llndr business so as to prevent as much as possible a total stoppage ot Industry at any one time, and more especially during the winter months A number of industrial concerns in the United States are already doing so The International Harvester Company Is one of these concerns. The Ford Motor Company anotner. The harvester concern ovaids total stoppage of industry and wholesale unemployment among its workers ey extending its markets In foreign coun tries Tlie Ford Company mans to have Its slack seasoa fall In the sum mer Instead of In the winter, figuring that In the summer months a man mat- easily find work In the harvest fields to tide him over hla unemploy ment period. The next step In curbing unemploy ment lies In effective municipal, state and even national labor exchanges— exchanges that will have the labor market of the nation at their fingers ends, ns it were, and will be able to place the men thrown out of employ ment In one Industry in a temporary Job elsewhere. INEFFICIENCY IS DISHONESTY (From the Milwaukee Journal.) The first step in governmentaJ economy Is to see (hat every em ployee w-bethw be be a legislator, an executive or a clerk under the civil service, gives n day's work for a day's pay. The next Is to see that the work he does is necessary; that he Is not duplicating work none bj some other person, or piling up rec ords to be printed and never used. There is a deal of this kind of waste, nnd it should be the next point of at tack in seeking efficiency A busi ness man who is not efficient de creases his own profits, but a govern ment thai »« ‘"“fficient is dishonest. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA. The Manicure Lady (By William F. Kirk.), "I ace where Mister John l». Jlorke feller has gave some more good ad vice to the young men of his time," said the Manicure Lad)'. "lie has told them that to make a success of the year 1914 they ought to go straight ahead and make a succeaa, and make those happy that depend oh them. Wasn't that awful sweet Of him. llenrge, to lell tho young men how to he successful like him?" "(lid John I>. was alwaya fond of young men,” aald the ll<-ad llarber. "I suppose one reason he llkea them ao much Is because they are not old and wlae enough to be Jealous or sus picious of. They haven't had a chance to got the brains nnd experience they would need to glv* him a battle or take any of hla money sway from him. In other words, he likes young men the same way a big heavyweight cham pion might like a featherweight." "He la too great und good a man to Is- compared to a prlxcfighter,"wasld the Manicure Lady. "If you had all hla millions, George, 1 don't think you would he worrying your head much about how the young men of the coun try were coming out. You would prob ably have a big stable of race liorsea and spend all your time betting on them'." "No I wouldn't," replied the Head Barber, "I would do all I could to help the poor of this country, whether they were young or old. And while you ar* talking about John 1). Rockefeller and boosting him, I can't see where that advice he gave to the young men amounts to the paper that It w-aa printed on. What did he tell them, after all? He said to go straight and to make a success. That Is Just tho same as telling a high school pitcher to go straight and get Matty's aktll and his salary In I*l4. And he told the boys to be honest with themselves and with the people that they was deal ing with. I wonder If he always kept that advice hltnself. Maybe he did, but 1 don't believe It." "He wouldn't tell no lie, George." aald the Manicure Lndy. *‘H« wouldn't belong to a church if he told lies.” "Maybe he didn't know that he was lying,” said the Head Uarber. "In the first place, khfdo, there Isn’t a man In this world that has always been honest with himself. You might find a man here and there that was always Ht all times honest with everybody he rypr dealt with, hut f-ou will never find a man who empay he was al ways honest with himself. No, sir.” Maybe not men," said the Manicure I,ady, "but you cun find a lot of girls that Is alwaya honest with them selves." "Yes, maybe," admttted the Head Rarber. "I think that a woman is a whole lot more likely to be honest with herself than a man. For In stance, a girl Is beautiful. She looks in the glass and knows that she Is beautiful, and all the rest of her life she keeps telling herself that she is beautiful, in that way, I suppose, you can say that she is honest with her self." "We are honest with ourselves more ways than that," declared the Mani cure Lady. "Lots of times a man isn't sure whether he rtwlly loves a friend "or not. and sometimes when he dis likes that friend he is afraid to tell himself so. You bet a girl always knows when she hasn't got any time for another girl. That's what she docs —she knows it.” "Yes," said the Head Barber, “she knows It, and everybody she knows knows It." MY AMBITION I have my own ambition. It is not To mount on eagle wings and soar away Beyond the palings of our common lot. Scorning the griefs and joys of every day; ( woulc} be human —tollng like the rest, With tender humnn heart beats in my breast. And so beside my door I sit and sinh My simple strains —now said, now light and gay. Happy in this or that but wake one string, Whose low. sweet echoes give me back the lay. Aud happier still, If girded by my song, Some strained and tempted soul stand Tirm and strong. I send my thought its kindred thought to greet. Out to the far frontier, through crowded town Friendship is precious, sympathy is sweet; So these he mine, I ask no laurel crown. Such niv ambition, which I tiore un fold; Slo it be granted, mine is wealth un told. —Ellen P. Allerton. TOO LATE I STAYED Too late I stayed—forgive the crime!
